Abstract Scope |
Thermoplastic materials, including polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and polyether ketone ketone (PEKK) are high-performance semi-crystalline polymers ideal for aerospace applications because of their excellent properties, toughness, resistance to aging, manufacturability and “tailorability.” Understanding the linkages between the microstructure of the material and its properties facilitate designing of the material itself. A multiscale recursive micromechanics (MsRM) model has been developed and implemented in the NASA Multiscale Analysis Tool (NASMAT). The microstructure of the thermoplastic is modeled using MsRM over three integrated scales (spherulite, lamellar stacks, granular crystal blocks). Inputs for the base constituents are obtained from molecular dynamics calculations. With this computational tool, the effects of microstructure to property relationships are simulated through parametric studies on crystallinity, spherulite packing, and morphology of the microstructure. |
